My DVD arrived well-packaged. The DVD was new and unopened just as described. The only downside to my experience with this seller was that I messaged them twice asking about the region that the DVD would play in, but they never responded. Thankfully it played on US players.

  • The True Story of Baseball. An Incredible Collection.

    Before you watch the Natural, For Love of the Game, or Bull Durham, you need to take a week and watch Baseball: A Film by Ken Burns. Each video covers a different era of the game, including the players, the parks, the owners, managers, the myths, the legends, the music and more. As each of the nine innings unfolds, you the viewer become more and more a part of America's Passtime. Filled with stories as told by the writers, fans, and players themselves. This is the absolute essential video collection for any American, baseball fan or not. Each of nine parts is divided into the top and bottom of an inning, covering a era, from the formation of the game, right up to the 1990s. Each episode tells the stories by noted writers, historians, and players. But this story goes beyond facts and dates. ...

  • Great Series by the Man Who Authored The Civil War

    In its complete and total 100% greatness, "Baseball" is a story about our national past time from the 1840's to the Present day with "present day" being 1990. Under the concept if innings, Burns covers the history of the game from the Civil War era to the turn of the 20th Century. From there, inning titles describe the era discussed in each part. "The Faith of 50 Million People," "Shadowball," "The Capital of Baseball," and "A Whole New Ballgame" are just some of the titles presented in the series. As expected, a good deal of Baseball's heroes are covered in this series including Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Joe DiMaggio, Hank Aaron, and countless others. Eras covered include but are not limited to the 1919 Black Sox Scandal, the game during the 1950's, and the fight for more money by the ...

  • A healthy dose of American history

    I have enjoyed many of Ken Burns documentaries. The Civil War and Baseball are two of his best. I bought this on VHS because it is much less expensive than the DVD version. I saw this many years ago and am now watching it again with my young boys who have recently developed a fascination with baseball. They are learning many practical facts about American history and the history of Baseball. I think this video series is helping them to be better baseball players and is giving them important information about the history of America. If you are interested in sharing this with your kids I would caution you that it does have some language and real life situations. (drinking, affairs, etc) It is broken down into many smaller chapters on each video so you can watch a tape at a time or just ...

  • Excellent history of our national pasttime

    This nine-inning set is superb. It's about the history of our national pasttime, from the Abner Doubleday myth and its actual roots to the emergence of Ty Cobb to the Black Sox scandal that nearly endangered the game to the star power of Babe Ruth to the Negro Leagues to the signing of Jackie Robinson to the relocation of two New York teams to the expansion to the West to the present day (as of 1994). I can't wait for September 28 (the day the 10th inning will be broadcast).

  • Most of this nine-tape set is fine, but one tape is defective--no audio.

    This boxed set started out well, with no problems and a nice low price. But on Tape 6 ("The Sixth Inning") there is no sound--no audio. The video portion is fine, but there is no audio. On Tape 7 the audio works fine, and I have not yet checked Tape 8 or Tape 9. I don't want to give a totally bad review based on one tape, but the defective tape does lower my rating of this product.
